Description
The 24-year-old Karlheinz Stockhausen was already fascinated by the universe and the stars, which he saw as individual dots in the sky. This inspired him, in 1952, to compose music with ‘points’ in the sound space instead of melodies. He soon realised that the score of Punkte could not be performed as it was and turned to other projects – such as Gruppen (1955–57). Stockhausen produced a new version in 1962, but continued to work on the score until 1993. Today, the music has a familiar feel, probably partly because it has served as an example for many other composers. You can listen to the original here.
